This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 283

  Chapter 283 Phantom Thief Mask

   "Strange thief? Isn't this guy imprisoned on the fifth floor?" Mu You was puzzled.

  Among the information he overheard on Beizu Island yesterday was a piece about the strange thief Fan Lun Justin.

   It is said that this person has just been caught. It seems that he was captured by some bounty hunter and entered the bottom of the submarine prison.

  A person who has been imprisoned forever can still come out to steal things?

   Still, this person, like him, has also escaped from prison, and now he can move freely in the prison...

   "Appointment letter..."

   Mu You frowned and looked at the prompt in the text, clicked on the text of 'Hunger Gem', and tried to take the gem out of the game.

  A prompt pops up as a result: [The item is locked, and the plane cannot be transferred. 】

   Then he tried storing it in a backpack, space ring, and binding gems.

  The results all prompt: [The item is locked and cannot be operated. 】

   "It's a bit powerful!"

  Mu You also had to praise.

  This person's ability is very interesting. The items he likes will have many restrictions. They cannot be hidden or transferred, and the location will be known by the other party at any time, even if they want to use the teleportation array to go to other places.

   It can be said that the difficulty of stealing things locked by the notice letter will be greatly reduced! Of course, since the notice letter was issued, the other party would not show up before the scheduled time for the theft. This thing is safe for the time being.

  No matter what, Mu You still doesn't know the level and strength of this strange thief. In short, let's make some defensive preparations first.

  Mu You controlled the character to leave the cell, found a relatively remote passage on the fourth floor, and began to lay traps on the ground.

   Now the prison time should be around 5:20, and the comfort period on the fourth floor will end at 7:00.

  This person deliberately set the time for the theft to be one hour later, and then counting the half-hour theft time, it was 6:50, and there was still ten minutes of escape time, which was just enough to complete the whole set of theft operations within the comfort period.

   But this also means that this strange thief cannot ignore the extremely cold and extremely hot environment on the fourth floor, and he only dares to go out during comfortable periods.

And this is Mu You's advantage. His vampire skin can survive on the fourth floor. If it is confirmed that he can't beat the opponent later, then find a way to delay the time until after seven o'clock, and the fourth floor will be destroyed. become his home.

  In fact, Mu You has a more comfortable way, which is to go directly to the third floor.

  The poisonous gas on the third layer is the most powerful, covering 24 hours, and it is his home field all day.

   But Mu You thought about it and still didn't do it, mainly because he was afraid that the strange thief would not dare to show up after he found out that he could survive on the third floor.

  The other party had the idea of ​​using his gemstone, but Mu You also had some ideas about the strange thief's skin.

  'Strange Thief' sounds like it should be a high-level skin, and the low-level skins of this type of thief should be all thieves, right?

  He still has a 'Holy Stealer Gloves' on hand, which needs the Thief's skin as a front.

  Since this person has come to your door, it's time to try to see if you can get the skin out of him.

  【You are opposite Cell No. 4879, and you have laid out a large number of traps, and you have hidden the Hunger Gem in the trap array. 】

   After making the trap and ensuring that the gems will be stepped on the trap first, Mu You sees that the time is almost up, and makes the character invisible nearby, ready to wait for the rabbit.

  The text reminds that there are patrolling octopus soldiers passing by from time to time, but the traps set by Muyou are relatively remote and will not be stepped on by these octopuses.

   Waited for a while, and when it was exactly an hour before receiving the notice letter in the game, several brand new texts popped up.

  【You see the trap buttons in front of you are suddenly triggered continuously, breaking out five invisible figures. These five figures have the same appearance, no difference can be seen from the appearance, they are entangled in the trap, and they are still moving towards the center of the trap...]

   Five people exploded at once, it must be the main body plus the clone!

  Mu You made a decisive move.

  【You threw the chain claw towards the first figure. 】

  【The chain claw hits and retracts quickly. You stabbed the person with one claw, but caused an abnormally large amount of damage, and the figure disappeared instantly. Obviously, this is just a clone of a summoned object! 】

   The first tick was wrong, but it doesn't matter, there is enough error tolerance if you have a pocket watch.

  【Time flies, you go back to five seconds ago. 】

  【You throw the chain claw towards the second figure. 】

  【The chain claw hits and retracts quickly. You stabbed someone with your claws, causing a little damage, and blood gushed out from the figure. Obviously, this one is the opponent's body! 】

   Luckily, the second hook hit the real body.

  The moment I confirmed the main body, the opponent's information also appeared in the Omniscient Crystal.

  【Fan Lun Justin (Level 19): Strength 35, Dexterity 87, Intelligence 45, Constitution 24, HP 5400, Mana 9500. The new thief, who inherited the will of the sea thief Patty Wright, started his career in recent years and quickly emerged among the pirates. Acting style, gradually enjoy the title of "monster thief". 】

  Level 19, the attribute is also one step higher than the general 19th level, but fortunately it does not exceed 20th level, there is only one level of suppression for Mu You, which is acceptable.

  Mu You was about to use the first-mover advantage to quickly and severely injure the opponent, but at this moment, a new reminder came from the text.

  【You used the throat lock tongue on the figure in front of you, and swung your claws again to stab the opponent. 】

  【However, you only feel a blur in front of your eyes, and the figure in your hand seems to have changed. Your claws stabbed the opponent, causing abnormally high damage, and the figure in your hand disappeared instantly. 】

  【Obviously, what you stabbed was the avatar. 】

"Um?"

   Mu You stared blankly, didn't he remind you to grab the main body just now, why did you become a clone again? Could it be that this person's main body and avatar can switch automatically?

  【You look up, in the trap formation ahead, a figure has broken through the encirclement and picked up the hidden gem. 】

  【Your hunger gem was stolen by the strange thief Fan Lun! 】

  【After succeeding, the main body of Fan Lun and the remaining three clones of the phantom thief retreated outward. Do you want to pursue it? 】

   "Pursuit!"

   This must be chased. Is it okay to let the opponent take the gems for nothing?

  【You choose to chase and kill the opponent. 】

[You caught up to the four figures in front of you faster than you thought, but just when you were about to attack, you saw the four figures in front of you stop in unison, turn around and quickly surround you, and launch attack! 】

  The agility value of this strange thief is much higher than his. Mu You was worried that he might not be able to catch up with the other party if he ran away.

  It turned out that he was thinking too much. The other party didn't want to run away at all, and even planned to seduce him to kill him. It is estimated that he exposed the chain claws just now, which made the other party greedy again.

  【Facing the opponent's siege, you are also ready to fight back. However, just when you were about to start the battle, you suddenly heard the footsteps of the octopus soldiers coming from the corner ahead. 】

  【The strange thief and his three clones immediately retreated to the wall, and soon fell into an invisible state after standing still. your choice…】

  [Ignore the jailer and continue attacking], [Take the opportunity to escape], [Pause the battle and enter stealth].

   "Pause the battle and enter stealth."

  At this time, a patrol came over. Both of them belonged to the prison escape personnel. The other party didn't want the octopus soldiers to find out, and neither did he.

   This strange thief also seems to have a deep stealth method. At this time, Mu You can only choose to hide first like him, and continue to fight after the octopuses leave.

  【You and the strange thief have both fallen into invisibility, and the passage has become quiet. 】

  【A group of octopus soldiers turned around the corner and paraded towards your position. Fortunately, they didn't notice your existence, and walked right past you. 】

  【You watched the octopuses turn around the other corner one by one and disappear into the passage. They haven't gone far, and now they can take the initiative, but the movement of the fight may also be noticed by the octopuses, should they shoot immediately? 】

  Mu You directly clicked on 'Silence' and 'Arcane Missile' on the panel, and then selected 'Dark Realm' in the black magic column.

  【You released the silence spell, eliminating all sounds around you. 】

  【Under the cover of the silent spell, you took the lead in launching the attack, and three arcane missiles were fired, automatically smashing out the three invisible figures on the opposite side. 】

  【You released the Dark Realm, and the environment around you automatically entered the midnight state and became pitch black. 】

  【The severe cold wind quickly blows through the passage, and a large amount of frost is like ice knives, roaring towards all the creatures in this passage. 】

  【In the extremely cold temperature, your life value began to decline rapidly. 】

  【In the extremely cold temperature, the opponent's HP began to decline more rapidly. 】

  Mu You's trump card for daring to be tough with the opponent is this trick of 'Dark Realm'.

In the midnight state, his vampire skin bonus can be instantly increased to 100%. After doubling the four-dimensional attributes, his attributes become: strength 44, agility 88, intelligence 132, constitution 61, completely crushing the opponent in terms of attributes .

   Moreover, the midnight state also activates the special effects of the fourth floor of the prison. When the night is darkest, it is also the time when the extreme cold on the fourth floor reaches its strongest.

  In this extremely harsh environment, both sides are bleeding, but he has the survival of the fittest, the blood loss rate is much slower than the other party, and he will not die from the cold.

   It can be said that this dark space is his home field, even if the opponent is five levels higher than him, Mu You is not afraid at all.

  【During the howling of frost, you released the Snowball Curse, and the strong wind blew. 】

  【The electric arc sword wraps your sharp claws, and you use the skills of elf fighting to fight close to the opponent...】

  【The strange thief soon discovered that the attributes were completely suppressed by you, and as his injuries rapidly worsened, he took the lead in retreating, but instead of running away, he quickly chanted a spell and released a dark spell on you. 】

  【The raging and familiar magic power condenses in the opponent's hand, and a dark flame dragon quickly takes shape in the opponent's hand, and bites towards you. You couldn't dodge in time, and you were caught by the Dark Flame Dragon, and your health was dropping rapidly...]

  【In the blink of an eye, you were bitten by the Dark Flame Dragon and became seriously injured and on the verge of death. But the familiar fluctuations fed back by the secret technique crystallization remind you that the other party seems to be using a black magic! 】

   "Black magic?" Mu You frowned.

  This person can also use black magic? Is he also a mystic? Or, he used just ordinary black magic.

   If it is ordinary black magic, isn't he afraid of losing control?

  The opponent's black magic damage is extremely high, which instantly reversed the advantage he had gained by relying on the dark world. Before he had time to think, Mu You decisively pressed his pocket watch.

  【Time flows, go back to five seconds ago. 】

  【You saw that the other party started singing again, and used black magic on you...】

   At this time, Mu You could actually think of a way to interrupt, but he didn't do so, because he was curious about how the other party was going to deal with the out-of-control situation.

  【The opponent's black magic was successfully used again, and the dark flame dragon emerged...】

   "Backtrack!"

  【...You saw that the other party started singing again, and successfully summoned the Dark Flame Dragon...】

   "Backtrack!"

   Mu You guarded the text, as long as the other party succeeded in casting a spell, he would go back immediately.

Vivienne said that it is impossible to achieve a 100% success rate in black magic. No matter how talented a person is, he can at most practice a certain black magic to a 99% success rate. Sooner or later he will lose control!

   Sure enough, after going back more than 60 times, the text finally changed.

  【Time passed, the strange thief in the distance once again cast a spell on you, but after singing, the spell did not take shape. There is an abnormality in the operation of the opponent's natural magic power, and the raging black magic power explodes in the opponent's body. You can see a large number of sucker-shaped tumors appearing on the surface of the monster thief, and they are expanding rapidly...]

coming!

   This is the moment Mu You was waiting for. The other party lost control of his black magic and lost control. He hurriedly stared at the text, ready to take a good look at how the other party would deal with the out-of-control situation.

  However, the following text surprised him.

  【During the surge of black air, you noticed a flash of light and shadow between the out-of-control Phantom Thief and a clone next to him, and something seemed to have changed on both sides. 】

  【The next moment, the strange thief was completely swallowed by the black air, but burst like a bubble, and disappeared into the air together with those out-of-control tumor growths. 】

   "It turned out to be a transfer!"

  Mu You immediately understood that this strange thief is actually unable to deal with losing control at all, but the other party has a special ability: the main body can be switched to other clones at any time!

   It is precisely because of this ability that the opponent dares to use black magic so recklessly. Even if they accidentally lose control, they can use the clone to avoid losing control.

  However, the premise of doing this is that there must be clones around.

  Understanding the opponent's abilities, Mu You knew how to deal with this person.

  【Of the remaining three phantom thieves, one of them suddenly chanted the same spell at you again...】

   This guy really hasn't given up. He probably thought that he ran into the 1% out of control just because of pure luck, and turned around and started to release black magic again.

  Mu You felt that, as a genuine heir of a mystic, it was necessary for him to fully understand the dangers of black magic at this moment.

  【...After the monster thief chanted, the spell failed again. 】

  【The raging black magic power exploded in the opponent's body, and a large number of sucker-shaped tumors emerged on the surface of the strange thief again, and they expanded rapidly...】

  【During a burst of twisted magic power, both the Phantom Thief and the other clone next to him changed...】

  This time it was a little bit wrong, and it took him more than 200 backtracking before he was knocked out of control.

  As expected, the opponent moved to the clone again.

  Now that the opponent has only one clone left, Mu You thinks that the opponent has been hit twice in a row, so he should probably be more careful.

  In the end, the other party started to chant in a single-minded manner.

   "Why are you so stupid..." Mu You was dumbfounded secretly, it seems that this person should have used black magic to deceive people before, and he is quite confident about his luck.

  【...After the monster thief chanted, the spell failed for the third time. 】

  【The raging black magic power erupted, and the strange thief hurriedly transferred to the new clone while looking at you in surprise. 】

  【Failed to cast black magic three times in a row, and finally made him realize that you might be playing tricks! 】

  【The cold wind is howling, the icy curse of the night on the fourth floor is still in effect, and the Phantom Thief's HP is only 30% left. Instead of continuing to cast spells to fight you, he turned his head and started running away. 】

   This guy finally knew to run away, but unfortunately it was a bit late. Long before the opponent lost control, Mu You controlled the character to rush towards the last clone, and immediately started attacking.

  【Your bone-crushing knife hit the right leg of the monster thief, and the monster thief fell into a disabled state, and his movement speed was greatly reduced. 】

  【With no hope of escaping, the strange thief had no choice but to turn around and fight with you. 】

[Phantom thief has the unique agility of thieves, with flexible movements and elegant figure, but your agility is not weaker than the opponent's. The speed of both of you is about the same. Significantly faster than you. 】

  【Your sharp claws pierced the strange thief again, and his life value returned to zero first. 】

  【You killed the strange thief Fan Lun Justin, experience value +19, life span +1, obtained thief skin fragment*1, and found the 'dexterous boots' at the place where the opponent died. 】

  Finally successfully killed the opponent, got a skin fragment, and broke out the equipment.

   It seems that these stealing occupations will always explode a piece of equipment after death. This is the price of being a thief.

  In this case...

   Mu You pressed the pocket watch again.

   This dexterous boot is just a green and sophisticated equipment. After finally killing the opponent once, the best one will definitely come out.

  【Time flies, everything goes back to five seconds ago...】

  【You killed the phantom thief Fan Lun Justin again... and found the 'Assassin's Dagger' at the place where the opponent died. 】

   "Backtrack!"

  【...You found the 'Emerald Ring' at the place where the opponent died. 】

  Mu You has been backtracking, and it is too late to read the description of the things that exploded. He can only judge the quality simply by glancing at the text color of the item through the text.

   As a phantom thief, it is said that he should have stolen a lot of good equipment, but at this time there are not many good things that broke out from him. After going back seven or eight times, the highest-level props revealed were only green, and none above blue.

   But when you think about Mu You, you will understand that this guy came to the submarine prison for an impure purpose. I am afraid that he was caught on purpose, and then escaped easily through the transformation of the clone, and then he can steal unscrupulously here.

  Since this is the case, he will definitely not bring too precious equipment and props with him. After all, this kind of thing is extremely risky.

  Thinking of this, Mu You guessed that he might not be able to get too good equipment from the opponent, so he continued to roll a few more times, planning to explode the hunger gem first.

   As a result, when he went back more than 30 times, the Hunger Gem hadn't appeared yet, but a golden word unexpectedly flashed in the text.

  【...You found a 'Phantom Thief Mask' at the place where the opponent died. 】

  【Phantom Thief Mask: Dexterity +20, Intelligence +10.

  Accompanied by the ability 'Replacement Ghost': After activation, four substitute ghost clones will be summoned, and you can descend on the substitute ghost clones within 100 meters near you at any time, and the equipment and props will be transferred automatically. Can only be activated once per day. Only works when wearing the Phantom Thief skin. 】
